Este artículo le brindará una descripción general completa del uso del bucle WHILE en SQL Server. A El bucle WHILE es una declaración de flujo de control que se utiliza para ejecutar repetidamente el conjunto de declaraciones hasta que se cumpla la condición especificada. . Este bucle comienza con una condición dada, evalúela y, si es VERDADERA, las declaraciones entrarán en el bucle para su posterior ejecución. Si la condición se vuelve FALSA, no se ejecutará. Implica que el bucle while en SQL Server podría ejecutarse cero o más veces.
Diagrama de flujo del bucle WHILE
El siguiente diagrama de flujo explicará el flujo de trabajo completo del bucle WHILE dentro de SQL Server:
ejemplos de código c#
Podemos ver en este gráfico que la condición especificada se verifica para cada iteración y, según el resultado de la evaluación, se determina el flujo de código. Si el resultado se evalúa como VERDADERO, el flujo de control ingresa al bucle para su posterior ejecución. Si el resultado evaluado es FALSO, el flujo de control saldrá del bucle y se ejecutará cualquier declaración o consulta fuera del bucle.
Sintaxis
La siguiente sintaxis ilustra el bucle WHILE en SQL Server:
WHILE boolean_condition BEGIN BREAK END;
En esta sintaxis, tenemos los siguientes parámetros o argumentos:
Ejemplo de bucle MIENTRAS
Entendamos cómo funciona el bucle WHILE en SQL Server a través de un ejemplo. En el ejemplo dado, primero hemos declarado un valor de tipo entero y establezca su valor en 1. A continuación, el bucle WHILE comprueba la condición y, si es VERDADERO , se imprimirá la declaración impresa. Cuando el bucle se vuelve FALSO , se imprimirá la siguiente declaración después del bucle WHILE.

DECLARE @stud_value INT; SET @stud_value = 1; WHILE @stud_value <= 5 begin print 'mark henry'; set @stud_value="@stud_value" + 1; end; 'rose bennet'; < pre> <p>Executing this statement will return the following output:</p> <img src="//techcodeview.com/img/sql-server-tutorials/44/sql-server-while-loop-2.webp" alt="SQL Server WHILE LOOP"> <p>In the above WHILE loop code snippet, we must increment the variable's value after each iteration. See the below part of the above code line as <strong>SET @stud_value = @stud_value + 1</strong> . If we do not write this statement, the loop will execute infinitely because it cannot becomes FALSE.</p> <pre> BEGIN PRINT 'Mark Henry'; SET @stud_value = @stud_value + 1; END; </pre> <h3>Infinite WHILE Loop</h3> <p>An infinite loop occurs when the evaluation of a condition will never be false. Therefore, the loop will never end and be executed forever. The loop in the following code snippet is infinite because the variable's value is not incremented.</p> <pre> DECLARE @stud_value INT; SET @stud_value = 1; WHILE @stud_value <= 5 begin print 'please stop execution!' end; < pre> <p>Executing the loop will display the below output. This loop will never end its execution until we do not cancel their execution of the query manually.</p> <img src="//techcodeview.com/img/sql-server-tutorials/44/sql-server-while-loop-3.webp" alt="SQL Server WHILE LOOP"> <h3>Inserting Records with WHILE Loop</h3> <p>We can also use the WHILE loop to insert records into the defined table. Let us see how to inserts dummy records into the database. First, we will create a table named <strong>'bikeshop'</strong> containing three columns: <strong>Id, bike_name,</strong> and <strong>price</strong> . Execute the following statement to create this table:</p> <pre> CREATE TABLE bikeshop ( Id INT PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY, bike_name VARCHAR (50) NOT NULL, price FLOAT ) </pre> <p>Next, we will use the WHILE loop to insert ten records into this table by executing the following script:</p> <pre> DECLARE @count INT; SET @count = 1; WHILE @count <= 10 begin insert into bikeshop values('bike-' + cast(@count as varchar), @count*5000) set @count="@count" 1; end; < pre> <p>In this code, we have declared a variable @ <strong>count</strong> and then initialize its value with 1 using a SET clause. Next, we have to define the loop body that executes the INSERT statement to add one record in each execution. The <strong>bike_name column</strong> will append the value of a @count variable with the string <strong>Bike</strong> , and the <strong>price</strong> column determines by the value of a @count variable multiplied by <strong>5000</strong> . The loop will execute until the value of the @count variable becomes FALSE. It means the WHILE loop will execute ten times and <strong>inserts ten records</strong> into the table bikeshop.</p> <p>Now, we can verify all the records of the bikeshop table with the SELECT statement. It will display the following output:</p> <img src="//techcodeview.com/img/sql-server-tutorials/44/sql-server-while-loop-4.webp" alt="SQL Server WHILE LOOP"> <h3>BREAK Statement</h3> <p>SQL Server also allows us to use the BREAK statement in the WHILE loop like programming languages. This statement is used to <strong>immediately stop the current iteration of the loop</strong> , and control flow resumes with the next statement after the loop. In general, we will use the <a href="/sql-server-if-else"> <strong>IF...ELSE statement</strong> </a> to check whether or not a condition has occurred.</p> <p>The following example will explain how to use the BREAK statement in the WHILE loop:</p> <pre> DECLARE @count INT; SET @count = 1; WHILE @count = 6 BEGIN BREAK END SET @Count = @Count + 1 END; </pre> <p>Executing the code will display the below output:</p> <img src="//techcodeview.com/img/sql-server-tutorials/44/sql-server-while-loop-5.webp" alt="SQL Server WHILE LOOP"> <p>The value of the variable is first evaluated in this code. If it is TRUE, the control enters into the loop and prints the statement. When the variable value is greater than or equal to 6, control enters the IF...ELSE block and executes the BREAK statement to terminate the loop. If an IF...ELSE block fails to meet the condition; then, the loop will keep running until the condition is changed to FALSE.</p> <h3>CONTINUE Statement</h3> <p>SQL Server also allows us to use the CONTINUE statement in the WHILE loop like programming languages. This statement immediately <strong>terminates the current execution of the loop when the specified condition is met</strong> , and control flow returns to the beginning of the loop. In general, the IF...ELSE statement will be used to test whether or not a condition has been met.</p> <p>The CONTINUE statement in the WHILE loop is demonstrated in the following example. In this example, we'll assume that we wish to use a WHILE loop to <strong>print only odd values</strong> . The CONTINUE statement can be used to do this. This example will first <strong>test</strong> whether the variable value is <strong>odd or even</strong> . If it is even, the execution goes inside the IF…ELSE statement blocks and decrement the variable value by one. Then, it will execute the CONTINUE statement and starts a new iteration from the beginning.</p> <pre> DECLARE @Count INT SET @Count = 1 WHILE (@Count <= 1 2="0" 44 20) begin if @count % set + continue end print 'the odd value is=" + CONVERT(VARCHAR, @Count) SET @Count = @Count + 1 END </pre> <p>Executing the code snippet will display the below output:</p> <img src=" techcodeview.com img sql-server-tutorials sql-server-while-loop-6.webp' alt="SQL Server WHILE LOOP"> <h3>How to implementing paging with WHILE loop in SQL Server?</h3> <p>We can also use the WHILE loop for implementing the paging. Paging allows displaying the subset of records from a table at any particular time. The following example will explain this concept. The WHILE loop in the code will select two records from the bikeshop table at a time. The records that have been chosen are then displayed in the output.</p> <pre> DECLARE @count INT DECLARE @limit INT; SET @count = 0 SET @limit = 2; WHILE @count <10 begin select * from bikeshop order by id offset @count rows fetch next @limit only set + 2; end; < pre> <p>Executing the code snippet will return the below output:</p> <img src="//techcodeview.com/img/sql-server-tutorials/44/sql-server-while-loop-7.webp" alt="SQL Server WHILE LOOP"> <h3>Nested WHILE Loop</h3> <p>The Nested WHILE Loop in SQL Server is simply a WHILE Loop written inside another WHILE Loop.

Un bucle infinito ocurre cuando la evaluación de una condición nunca será falsa. Por lo tanto, el bucle nunca terminará y se ejecutará para siempre. El bucle en el siguiente fragmento de código es infinito porque el valor de la variable no se incrementa.

Al ejecutar el código se mostrará el siguiente resultado:
El valor de la variable se evalúa primero en este código. Si es VERDADERO, el control entra en el bucle e imprime la declaración. Cuando el valor de la variable es mayor o igual a 6, el control ingresa al bloque IF...ELSE y ejecuta la instrucción BREAK para terminar el ciclo. Si un bloque IF...ELSE no cumple la condición; luego, el bucle seguirá ejecutándose hasta que la condición cambie a FALSO.

CONTINUAR Declaración
SQL Server también nos permite utilizar la instrucción CONTINUE en el bucle WHILE como lenguajes de programación. Esta declaración inmediatamente finaliza la ejecución actual del bucle cuando se cumple la condición especificada y el flujo de control regresa al comienzo del ciclo. En general, la declaración IF...ELSE se utilizará para comprobar si se ha cumplido o no una condición.
La instrucción CONTINUE en el bucle WHILE se demuestra en el siguiente ejemplo. En este ejemplo, asumiremos que deseamos utilizar un bucle WHILE para imprimir solo valores impares . La declaración CONTINUE se puede utilizar para hacer esto. Este ejemplo primero prueba si el valor de la variable es par o impar . Si es par, la ejecución va dentro de los bloques de instrucción IF...ELSE y disminuye el valor de la variable en uno. Luego, ejecutará la instrucción CONTINUE y comenzará una nueva iteración desde el principio.
